lightning strikes twice

Zihuatanejo – such a beautiful place.

It was actually a lot less “secluded” than what I’d imagined, but coastal Mexico is so geared towards the American resort holidayer that its pretty hard to get something a bit more basic how us Aussies like our beachgoing. Luckily we didn’t go to nearby Ixtapa, which is exactly that sort of big resort style town (like Mexico’s Gold Coast) that we wanted to avoid. Not much really to report from here, as it was just a case of relaxing. La Quinta Troppo (run by an expat Aussie) was a perfect hotel venue — small and with superb service. The evening meals we had at Troppo were a highlight of the entire trip in my book.

Oh, also I shaved my beard off when we arrived (for the first time in three years).
